    Just got the computer today, before it rebooted for it's first updates, I was connected to my WIFI Router with a 128 encryption.
    After the first set of windows updates and the reboot, the wifi light was out.

    So I clicked the switch, the bluetooth lit up, but not the wifi.
    After a while, the Wifi light came back on, however it cannot locate any networks.
    Now the funny thing is, the wireless configuration Utility detects my router, easily, full signal strength, but when I run the vista netowrk locator, nothing can be found, like it doesn't exist.

    Help :(

    Make sure the most recent driver for your wireless adapter is installed.

    Noted, She is currently installing the SP1 update at the moment.
    It's the Intel Wireless N card, attempting to connect to the G-Band router.
    WHere in the network settings is the option to choose G band?
